iglidur® i8-ESD, laser sintering material

Selective laser sintering (SLS) material: iglidur® i8-ESD

The iglidur i8-ESD laser sintering material is highly resistant to abrasion and electrostatically dissipative (ESD). ESD properties are essential to avoiding electronic component damage, especially in the electronics industry. This material is also interesting for all other industries where electrostatic charges are to be avoided.

For processing on low-cost laser sintering systems with lower material requirements, the powder is now also available in 2kg containers.

• Volume resistance 10⁴ to 10⁷ohms x cm
• Excellent service life - e.g. pivotable: Abrasion resistance factor 2 according to PA12
• Rigidity 60% higher than with iglidur® i3
• Suitable for all standard laser sintering systems
• Suitable for standard laser sintering systems with CO2 laser 
• Suitable for low-cost laser sintering systems 

• When ESD specifications are required
• For applications under water or with high humidity
• When components with high stiffness are required
• When components with high UV resistance are required
• For gear applications under water
• For gear applications where ESD specifications are required
• When black components are required
• If I want to produce wear-resistant laser sintering components on a low-cost laser sintering system (no CO2 laser required)

• For worm wheel applications (→ iglidur i6)
• If the application requires a food-compliant material (→ iglidur i6)
• If the application temperature is higher than 80°C in the long term ( → iglidur A350 or iglidur RW370)
